Laser Spine Institute Celebrates National Surgical Technologist Week

The Association of Surgical Technologists has named the week of September 19-25 "National Surgical Technologist Week." Surgical technologists are integral members of operating teams that assist surgeons to ensure safe and effective procedures. What better time to recognize the hardworking medical team of surgical technologists and endoscopic specialists at Laser Spine Institute than this week?

Our surgical technologists are headed by Jim Stafford, Director of Surgical Operations in our Tampa location, and are accredited by the American College of Surgeons and the Association of Surgical Technologists. We also feature the same exceptional expertise at our Scottsdale and Philadelphia locations, and all of our surgical technicians, surgeons, nurses, and other allied health professionals are proud to ensure quality patient care and patient safety before, during, and after our endoscopic spine procedures.

We're excited to highlight our surgical technologists' expertise that has helped over 16,000 patients across the country and around the world rediscover their lives without back and neck pain. Every day, our surgical technologists assist our surgeons as they perform a variety of diagnostic and outpatient surgical procedures that are alternatives to traditional open back surgery. Our surgical team’s supervision and care have helped so many people find relief from the symptoms of their spine conditions, including degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and bulging/herniated discs.
